Loudly and proudly

Anyway, Trump is still hard at work making Murika great and shit.

He issued a statement.

The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow. They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country. The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better. These fans are still invited to the White House to be part of a different type of ceremony—one that will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem. I will be there at 3 p.m. with the United States Marine Band and the United States Army Chorus to celebrate America.

He talks as if football were literally a branch of the military. It’s not. Yes, both have to do with violence, but that doesn’t make one a branch of the other. Football is a sport, a game, that people pay money to watch in person or stay home to watch for free. It’s a game. It’s not about nationalism or patriotism or paying tribute to members of the military.

Bone spurs.
